Will Chatham

If Sen­a­tor John McCain has way by defeat­ing the FCC’s move to sup­port Net Neu­tral­ity with his “Inter­net Free­dom Act”, this is what your Inter­net plan options could eas­ily look like:

Say “good­bye” to expe­ri­enc­ing the World Wide Web as you know it, and say “hello” to expe­ri­enc­ing it as you do your cable TV, with restric­tions on what you get unless you want to pay more, and unless the con­tent providers pay more to be listed there.

As usual, the notion that a “gov­ern­ment takeover” and a “marx­ist plot” are being ban­tered around to gen­er­ate sup­port for McCain’s bill through fear and igno­rance. It goes with­out say­ing that McCain was the biggest ben­e­fi­ciary of  telco/ISP money in 2008, to the tune of $894,379.
